NEW DELHI: The first Double Stack Container train (from Mundra Port, Gujarat to CONCOR India Kathuwas MMLP National Capital Region) trial was run done after completion of track linking between New Palanpur to New Kishanganj.

The rake contained 178 containers with 5 destined for New Kathuwas in Rajasthan (NCR), 78 for Dhandari Kalan railway station in Ludhiana, Punjab, 90 for Dadri (NCR) in Uttar Pradesh, 5 for Panitola Railway station in Assam respectively.
